Dear Friends,

As you know, we’re a company of software products. IntelliJ IDEA was the first one but it is one of 14 that are already known to the wider audience. And more are to come sooner or later.

But a company isn’t just what we develop. It’s also who we are, what we’re passionate about, what inspires us, and what we believe in. We decided to share these essential parts of our world called JetBrains with you — in the JetBrains Company Blog. In fact, it’s been in the works for quite some time and is finally coming to life.

Don’t miss our Interview with John Lindquist, a new member of our technical evangelists team, already published on the blog.

Stay tuned for more news and keep developing with pleasure!

Hi again,

Here’s another bugfix update for the 10.x branch of IntelliJ IDEA — version 10.5.4.
Some things worth mentioning are:

• Mercurial 2.0 support
• Flash player 11 debugging support
• Firefox 8 JS debugging support
• Fixed extract method object refactoring
• and other fixes.

Download the update from IntelliJ IDEA web site or install a patch from within the IDE.

Just a couple of days before the actual announcement of brand new IntelliJ IDEA 11, we are releasing a bugfix update for the previous version — IntelliJ IDEA 10.5.3.

The update is recommended for everyone on 10.5. It fixes some most critical bugs but also resolves some compatibility issues, e.g. with Android 4.0 SDK, Struts 2.3.1 and Grails 2.0.
And it is a must for those, who updated their Java to 1.6.0_29 on Mac OS X.

Check out the full list of fixes and download the update from IntelliJ IDEA web site.

And you can still get on the “free upgrade” train if you wish. Get IntelliJ IDEA 10 license now (we still have some left) and version 11 is also yours!

Develop with pleasure!
